Starting From Playing as a Defensive Midfielder for Real Madrid

Chapter 335 The Fairytale Summer of the Old Boys!

"I knew you would score this goal! I knew it!"

"You did a great job! Little Lion! Win this championship! We must win this championship!"

The voices of the two elder brothers rang in Li Ang's ears. Li Ang could feel the excitement in their voices and hugged them tightly with his backhand!

"Of course we will win this Champions League! There will be no suspense, we will not give Atletico any chance!"

Li Ang's confident reply calmed the excitement of Ibrahimovic and Silva.

The rest of the Chelsea players who came over at this time also rushed forward and surrounded the three excitedly!

Such a goal is a complete surprise!

At least before the counterattack started, the Chelsea players on the field did not expect that they would break the balance of the game so smoothly!

In addition to Li Ang who scored the goal, he was surrounded by the crowd and slapped and "ravaged".

De Bruyne, who sent a key assist, could not escape the "clutches" of his teammates.

The Chelsea players on the field celebrated passionately, and the Chelsea bench off the field was also cheering!

Drogba and Lampard, the old boys, seemed to have forgotten their age at this moment, and rushed to the sidelines with their young teammates to celebrate passionately!

Mourinho's Armani suit collar was also torn open by his excitement.

But at this time, Mourinho would not care about his image.

He simply unbuttoned all the buttons of his suit and casually revealed the shirt inside.

But the wild image did not make Mourinho lose his calm judgment.

While Holland continued to celebrate with the players on the bench.

Old Mou had already walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly, signaling the Chelsea players on the field to calm down quickly.

Li Ang still saw Mourinho's action at the first time.

He first made a reassuring gesture to Mourinho, and then tapped his temples towards his teammates who were scattered.

The meaning of this action was naturally understood by the other Chelsea players on the field.

At this time, the second half of the game has not yet reached the 60th minute, so it is too early to say that one goal will decide the outcome.

And they should be more vigilant after scoring a goal.

Because Atletico has no way out, they will definitely try their best to find an equalizer, which is beyond doubt.

So from now on, they really can't relax for a moment!

The game started again soon, and under the intriguing switching of the live camera, the fans soon saw Simeone anxiously discussing with the assistant coach on the sidelines.

There are not many offensive players available on the Atletico bench.

Mourinho thinks that if he is Simeone, it is better to change the formation to play one against four three three than to make a substitution.

Raul Garcia is a very versatile midfielder.

He can play as a single striker or a wing on the front line, and can even occasionally play as a defensive midfielder in the midfield.

So it is completely feasible to pull Raul Garcia to the wing at this time and then push Turan to the front line.

Let's not talk about the effect first, but at least it is a new tactical idea.

Mourinho didn't know whether Simeone would do this.

But just in case, he still walked to the sidelines and shouted to Li Ang in advance, indicating that Li Ang could pay more attention to the defense on the wing later.

Two minutes later, Atletico's assistant coach came to the sidelines and pulled the full-back Filipe Luis over to him and quickly explained it to him.

After a while, Atletico did choose to change its formation.

Arda Turan was pushed to the front line as Mourinho expected, but Atletico did not change to 433, but changed to a more radical 343 formation!

Filipe Luis and Koke became the left and right wingbacks in the midfield, and Simeone was obviously going all out to increase the attack!

Li Ang did not dare to be careless. After all, Atletico's change of formation further strengthened the offensive in the middle and on the wing.

He directly signaled Hazard and De Bruyne to retreat and focus on the defense first.

Kroos and Matic formed a double defensive midfielder, while he himself was fully fired up, sweeping in front of his own defensive third zone without sparing his physical energy.

This is Chelsea's strongest defensive form under the four-back system.

Even Ibrahimovic was very active and proactive in retreating to assist his teammates in defense.

In addition to the honors of the national team, Ibrahimovic is now only one Champions League title away from the club level.

He has won the league championship in the four major leagues in Europe, and he has also won the championship in three of the four major leagues in Europe.

And he has won other cup championships.

When he was still young, either because of his playing style or because of wrong choices, he finally missed the Champions League with regret.

Now the best chance to win the Champions League is right in front of him.

As Li Ang said to him when he talked to him before the game, he must seriously consider whether this is his last chance to fight for the Champions League at the end of his career!

The time train has always been one-way, he can no longer return to his peak state, nor can he become the omnipotent Zlatan again.

Fortunately, he has another chance like this, and a group of young teammates who bring him strength and hope!

So...

"Try your best! Whether it's on the offensive end or the defensive end, try your best!"

Ibrahimovic took firm steps, tried to speed up, and tried his best to help his teammates interfere with Atletico's offensive players on the defensive end!

Fans in front of the TV can see that Ibrahimovic is really not good at defending.

But his full commitment at this moment, his retreat defense regardless of physical exhaustion, has helped him win the respect of all fans!

Zlatan has always been proud, and it is still the same now!

But in front of dreams and team, Zlatan, who is already 33 years old, made a huge tactical sacrifice today!

For the younger Chelsea players, such a scene is very shocking and exciting!

This Champions League title is of great significance to Chelsea Club and Chelsea's veterans, and it symbolizes the fulfillment of dreams.

Along the way, they have heard and reviewed the tragic story of Chelsea in 2012 countless times.

Most of them actually understand that a team as large and united as theirs can only exist for two or three short seasons.

Because many of them are making continuous concessions and sacrifices for the team.

If someone plays as a starter, someone else has to be a substitute. Many players who play as substitutes in Chelsea can become the main force again in other teams.

So although everyone usually tries to avoid talking about this topic, they all know it in their hearts.

They won't have much time together.

Maybe after this summer, many of them will leave.

There are too many stories in football that will never come to an end.

Regret is always the main theme of every season.

Superstars like Li Ang who are so young and already full of honors are always just exceptions in football.

Most of the players in the Chelsea team may have only one chance to get close to the Champions League final stage in their entire careers.

So they have no reason not to fight for this Champions League trophy!

For themselves, for Ibrahimovic who tried his best to defend today, and for other Chelsea old boys!

The players on the Atletico field who were anxiously attacking soon felt the burst of momentum of the entire Chelsea team!

Chelsea did not choose to fight against them, but even if they defended in the first half, Chelsea at this moment also burst out with extremely amazing fighting energy!

The blue army's visible high morale made countless neutral fans excited!

Chelsea has already fought for every inch of land on the defensive end, and Li Ang has even run out of the sweeping area of ​​two defensive players!

Ibrahimovic has burned himself, and so has Li Ang?

He is completely squeezing his physical strength at this moment, helping his teammates behind him to filter out most of Atletico's offensive attempts.

The commentator of Sky Sports in England exclaimed repeatedly at this moment, saying that Li Ang has gone completely crazy!

Simeone couldn't sit still for a long time. He stood on the sidelines like that, looking anxious, and his hands in his trouser pockets seemed to begin to tremble slightly!

He has made tactical adjustments, but facing Li Ang and Chelsea in this state, he really doesn't know how to break the deadlock.

When facing Mourinho's Real Madrid, he was desperate for the strong control and versatility of Real Madrid's midfield.

At that time, Atletico's midfield was still constantly trying and failing, and was far from having the tough confrontation ability it has today.

But after leading Atletico to the Champions League final, Simeone once again tasted the familiar feeling of powerlessness when he faced Mourinho again!

This Chelsea team is more mentally tough than Mourinho's Real Madrid back then, which is what he envied and made him feel extremely helpless.

"Don't be too anxious, there will definitely be other ways to come up with, there is still time, there is still time..."

Simeone wanted to comfort himself, but when he thought of the fast-passing game time, he inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable breathing.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that the full game time had slowly passed the 70th minute, Simeone's mentality was somewhat unstable!

Turning his head and walking towards the coaching seat, Simeone, like a gambler, asked Raul Jimenez and Saul to warm up on the sidelines with red eyes!

Tens of thousands of Atletico fans at Wembley were also praying for their team in their hearts.

Many of them even began to imagine that Chelsea would make a mistake on the defensive end and give Atletico a chance.

But the reality is that the whole Chelsea team is united, firmly stabilizing the midfield and backcourt defense, and repeatedly resisting Atletico's offensive wave!

Li Ang had to take a breath and slow down his running speed to rest.

But his teammates used more active confrontation and running to allow him to rest at ease!

Countless Chelsea fans were already in tears watching this scene!

The new Blues have shown a tenacious style that is not inferior to their predecessors on the extremely important final stage!

This is the inheritance of spiritual power!

Mourinho is still the same as when he came to Chelsea many years ago.

He paced back and forth on the sidelines, constantly responding to the excellent performance of Chelsea players on the field with shouting words!

His body language is rich and contagious. He always stands with his players, fighting angrily and passionately!

At this moment, Wembley Stadium seems to have completely become the territory of Chelsea supporters.

Blues fans cheered for the home team with all their might, and their cheers were the best spiritual food for the Chelsea players on the field at this moment!

Li Ang recovered his breath, and he could clearly feel the heaviness of his legs at this moment.

But this did not affect his determination to fight to the end and fight for the last bullet in this final!

Even though he had won the championship honor that most players envied.

But he still maintained his thirst for the heavyweight championship in football!

For this reason, he was willing to work hard day after day, maintain his condition, and strive for excellence.

He still wanted to win!

Win every important game!

He enjoyed victory, championship, and the joy and breakthrough of climbing to the top again after tasting the pain of defeat!

So he ran with all his strength again.

Live up to expectations.

Leave no regrets!

"Leon can still hold on! He is still providing defensive protection for his teammates! Arda Turan failed to break through Leon's defensive interference, he chose to pass back, Thiago..."

He Wei's voice seemed to tremble a little when he was explaining. He was actually very worried at this time, worried that Leon's physical fitness would be problematic and he could not hold on.

But after seeing Leon's calm expression and choosing to continue running and sweeping, his inner excitement and pride were beyond words!

At this moment on the court, Thiago had just received Turan's return pass.

He originally wanted to pass the ball to Koke who came to meet him.

But when he saw Leon making a move to press forward to interfere, he subconsciously slammed the ball and changed direction, passing the ball to Filipe Luis at the far end.

Azpilicueta, who had been defending behind, suddenly chose to make a smart forward interception at this moment!

His defensive prediction and Thiago's passing action were almost stuck at the same time node.

So that Filipe Luis had no time to react faster!

The highlight moment of the Spanish full-back is coming!

He honestly delayed the whole game, but at this moment he used the most daring defensive attack to give Atletico a heavy hammer!

Atletico changed its formation to 343 and pressed forward too much, and was instantly broken through the midfield defense by Azpilicueta!

Li Ang and the two Chelsea wingers also reacted quickly.

Compared with Hazard and De Bruyne, Li Ang in the middle of the midfield obviously had a better observation position.

Although his physical energy had been consumed by more than half, Li Ang's forward speed was not as fast as before.

But his ability to read the game was not affected at all.

He did not remind Azpilicueta to pass the ball to him, but deliberately slowed down his speed in the forward run and did not run to the middle of Atletico's first echelon of defense.

So when Azpilicueta passed the ball back to the middle of the midfield, there were almost no defenders around Li Ang to intercept and interfere with him.

Li Ang, who had already observed the running of his teammates in front of him, caught up with the ball at this moment and chose to pass the ball to the hinterland area of ​​the left rib of Atletico's half without stopping the ball!

This ball completely penetrated Atletico's defense!

The sufficient advance of the straight pass also gave Hazard, who was inserted from the wing to the middle, enough time to accelerate and get rid of Gabi who was chasing him!

In a flash, Hazard ran directly to a great opportunity for a half-single knife!

He dribbled into the left area of ​​Atletico's penalty area!

Courtois did not choose to attack recklessly, and Godin also approached Hazard at this moment. Hazard almost had no chance to adjust his position and shoot from the far corner!

But the next moment, Hazard took a deep breath and swung his left leg quickly to force the ball between Courtois' legs!

This ball, Hazard played boldly and confidently!

He knows his national team teammates. In the previous 6 days of preparation, he and Li Ang have practiced many times to complete low shots in this situation!

So where do so many natural talents come from?

Most of them are the result of hard training!

Courtois was very frustrated and tried to get down quickly to intercept the shot again.

But he was too tall!

His previous advantages of height and long legs became his fatal flaw at this moment!

The football quickly passed through the small door between his legs and rolled into the door behind him again!

Wembley Stadium was once again shaking violently!

The crazy cheers of Chelsea fans became the main theme of this huge stadium at this moment.

Atletico fans covered their heads in pain, with a look of disbelief!

Hazard repeatedly and nervously confirmed that the football had indeed crossed the line and hit the net behind the Atletico goal, and then he rushed back to Leon with great passion!

"I did it! I did it!!!"

With passion, Hazard, with red cheeks, jumped directly onto Leon, shaking Leon's upper body and roaring!

At this moment, Li Ang couldn't hear what Hazard was saying at all. After Hazard fell off him, he hugged Hazard tightly with his backhand!

One by one, teammates rushed towards them passionately!

Ibrahimovic, Kroos, De Bruyne, Bertrand, Matic...

In a trance, Li Ang seemed to see the red eyes of the old captain Terry and the tears in his eyes.

But the next moment, the soul of the Blues who quickly wiped his eyes and laughed heartily appeared in front of him.

After being surrounded by his teammates enthusiastically, Li Ang could not see the situation on the sidelines.

But he firmly believed that Lampard and Drogba must be very excited and happy at this moment.

This is indeed the case. At this moment, Chelsea's bench has completely "rioted"!

All the substitutes rushed to the corner flag area where Chelsea players celebrated collectively with excitement!

Behind them, Mourinho had already knelt on his knees, covered his face with his hands, and buried his head in the grass under his feet.

Holland also covered his face with his hands, but his emotions seemed to be more violent and direct.

The dignified Chelsea assistant coach sat in the coaching seat and cried like a child at this moment.

But no fans would laugh at him at this moment. People would only sigh at Holland's sincere feelings and hard work for Chelsea.

On the contrary, the Atletico players standing on the court at this time had some mentality exploded!

Simeone stood on the side of the court and touched his forehead, with bitterness in the corners of his eyes.

The full game time has come to the 77th minute.

Raul Jimenez and Saul, who had warmed up long ago, quickly stood on the sidelines.

But there was no determination in their eyes.

There was only trepidation, solemnity and a little confusion.

At the reminder of the linesman, the Chelsea substitutes who had celebrated passionately began to return to the bench with laughter.

Chelsea's players on the field also excitedly cheered towards the stands around them, further mobilizing the cheers of Chelsea fans on the scene, and then slowly returned to their own half.

Atletico Madrid made substitutions first, Raul Jimenez and Saul came on, Koke and Thiago left.

Seeing that Atletico Madrid was going to fight for their lives, Mourinho also quickly asked Lampard and Drogba to prepare for the game.

Less than two minutes after the game resumed, Li Ang, who had grabbed the ball, kicked the ball directly out of the sideline.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Chelsea also completed the substitution.

Lampard and Drogba came on, Ibrahimovic and Hazard, the hero of the goal, left.

Chelsea fans in the stadium gave Ibrahimovic and Hazard an extremely enthusiastic applause.

When the two veteran players of Chelsea came on the court, many Chelsea diehard fans in front of the TV were moved again.

Cech, Terry, Lampard, Drogba!

This central axis not only represents the peak of the iron-blooded Blue Army, but also the beautiful memories and youth of these fans!

The pain in the summer of 2012 seemed to be only a memory of yesterday.

But now seeing these "old guys" reunited together, Chelsea fans suddenly came to their senses.

It turned out that the Champions League final that made them feel extremely painful had been over for three years!

The regret and regret three years ago, unexpectedly, will become a perfect fairy tale today.

This dreamlike scene made many Chelsea fans feel that they were not in reality at the moment.

But the Chelsea players who had retreated on the court and firmly grasped the two-goal lead were reminding them again and again.

This is not a dream!

The butterfly has flown across the sea, and the old boys of Chelsea finally ushered in their happy ending!

In the 87th minute of the game, Mourinho used up the last substitution.

He replaced De Bruyne with Torres, and gave the Spanish striker a decent farewell stage with the opportunity to play in this Champions League final!

Torres' appearance made the Atletico fans at the scene no longer able to boo to vent their emotions.

Perhaps they will continue to have their dreams shattered in this Champions League final, but their beloved Torres will get the last heavyweight championship trophy that he lacks in his career!

At this moment, the emotions in the hearts of the Atletico players are really complicated, painful, and sincerely happy for Torres.

Fortunately, the referee on duty did not let their entanglement and pain last too long.

When the three minutes of extra time were up, the referee directly and decisively blew the whistle to end the game!

Many Atletico players couldn't help but shed tears on the scene!

Reaching the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons, but missing the Champions League twice, such an ending is too cruel for them!

In the other half, many Chelsea players also shed tears at this moment.

But there was no sadness in their tears, only the joy of finally welcoming perfection after going through hardships!

Li Ang opened his arms freely and relaxedly, lying in the Wembley Stadium.

"Summer is coming..."

Staring at the starry sky of London in the summer night, Li Ang grinned and suddenly had more expectations for the next season!

The fairy tale summer belonging to the old boys of Chelsea has quietly arrived...

The new book of the good brother is being prepared for the shelves, and those who are interested can pay attention to it.
